Lucy Liu responds to allegations about Bill Murray from other actors

Lucy Liu has spoken out about what it was like hearing from other actors who have worked with Bill Murray in the past.

The 54-year-old and the Ghostbusters star worked together on the 2000 movie Charlie's Angels.

But while the film itself proved to be a hit, Liu said she had a really hard time working with the Hollywood legend at the time.

A couple of years ago, she recalled an on-set argument she and Murray had, during which she claims he used 'inexcusable and unacceptable' language.

Speaking to the LA Times, Liu said: "I was not going to just sit there and take it. So, yes, I stood up for myself, and I don't regret it.

"Because no matter how low on the totem pole you may be or wherever you came from, there’s no need to condescend or to put other people down.

"And I would not stand down, and nor should I have and nor did I."

Since making the claims, other actors and people in the industry have come out and shared their own experiences of working with Murray.

And it's safe to say that not all of them have been very flattering.

But while promoting her new film, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Liu told People that she took no pleasure in hearing what others had to say about him.

She said: "I felt sad that it happened to other people. It doesn't make me feel validated to hear other people having bad experiences.

"I don't think it's a great feeling to have to live with that and to feel that you're punishing yourself for something that you had no control over.

"I feel very grateful that people are able to speak their minds and release that because I don't think it's a positive energy to hold within yourself.

"It's valuable to be able to connect to other people and feel like you're not the only one."

Last year, Murray admitted that work on a film he was shooting was halted after he had a disagreement with a fellow actor.

Addressing rumours of the on-set bust-up, the 72-year-old said it was down to a 'difference of opinion'

He said: "I did something I thought was funny and it wasn't taken that way.

"The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production."
